I don't know of any PASCAL source available, however there a two door libraries
for C programmers that are especially good - CKIT and GAPCDR both provide all the
necessary routines for writing solid door apps.  I use CKIT and LOVE it!  It has
the ability to handle not only door.sys compatible BBS drop files, but a few others
too.

Both libraries should be prett easy to find on a local BBS -- and you may even
be able to link them into a pascal program -- I dunno!

Cheers,
Howie
